The Early Years of SNL: S04E02 Fred Willard/Devo (10/14/78)
How does Saturday Night Live follow up The Rolling Stones as host? With Muhammad Ali, of course. And when that doesn't pan out and they go with... Fred Willard! Fresh from his acclaimed run on Fernwood 2 Night and America 2-Night, Willard brings his unique comic energy to an episode that has many recurring characters (including the return of Mr. Bill) as well as a second half that takes some truly unexpected turns.
And speaking of following tough acts, Devo is the musical guest and boldly covers "Satisfaction" - transforming the Stones' classic into something entirely their own (and possibly sounding better than the band last week).
This is easily one of the most interesting SNL episodes of the era and was definitely one of the most fun to talk about. Enjoy!
